ence in New York who publishes the
Brewers Journal, a large monthly af-
fair. and as the prohibition question is
now prominent, cannot better advise
saints and sinners than by taking up the
NAV number of this serial, to show our
readers how great is the gullet. Here is
8 publication of about LOG pages, each
9 foot in length. The advertising
alone shows how formidable is the brew
inc interest. I observe one advertisement
of 8 Mr.. Deisvergne. He is New York
Dutchman from away back, and several
wears ago when he was one of my neigh
bors accepted his invitation to see beer
brewing.
When went to his brewery saw frost
sud ice cIinging to certain pipes therein,
and ne explained to me that he kept his
beeT down to the temperature which pro-
hlbted poisonous ferments by the use of
ammonia. He was en- intelligent man,
gDd showed me that the earth was cold
in state of nature and derived all it's
warmth from the sun visiting it. By ab-
sOrbing the heat left by this sun the
vaults of the brewery were kept cold.
Previously brewers had paid $4,000 to
$4,000 9 wear for ice. 1 made some notes
of news, and Mr.. DeIayergne passed out
Of nv notice for years. Some time ago 8
gentleman who was building refrigerator
cars on the same principle of using am
mOnia instead of ice told me that
DELAyERGNE had BECOME A WEALTHY
MAN.
now see that his machines have been
put into hotels, packing-hOuses, &battoirs,
etc, and that he creates every day the
equivalent of nearly 5000 tons of ice. At
least two Establishments in Cincinnati
use his apparatus.
On 9 certain occasion I went to brew
cry owned by an American, who assured
me in the most bland tones that nothing
whatever of deleteriOUs sort was put
into his beer. AS he spoke 1 noticed GER
tain persons with little tin thim5Ies put
ting INTO the filed kegs something ike g
gill Of almost COlOrIess liquid. Said l:
"Whati is that, my fTiend?"
Tle brewer replied that 1t was the
most harmless thing in the world, merely
little saHcIlic acid, which prevented the
beer becoming sour.
do you know that saliciliC acid is
what is called an snti-Rphrodisiac?"
he said no, that he had overlooked that
little matter,
Said I: ''You go to any druggist and
ask him the question:
To resume the Brewers Journal, you
open the leaf and find big bottle washer
adopted by 8 hundred breweries; next

you ind beer pumps aud mash pumps in
variety. You come to a concern called
rose malt, which makes $50 barrels of
beer for every 100 barrels of malt beer;
